BOTTLlNG-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,308, dated September 20, 1881.

Application filed July 5, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD G. UHEWNING, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk and State of Virginia, have invented a new Bottling-Machine, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a side elevation, partly in section; and Fig. 2, a front elevation.

The machine, as represented by Fig. 1 of drawings, is explained as follows: Connect lower end of suction-nozzle I by a suitable pipe or hose with a tank of liquid on the floor beneath the machine. The machine is attached to a vertical board, B, the bottom end of which rests on the floor. Near the lower end of the supporting-board, by means of a screw-hinge, is attached foot-bar G, connected with the piston-rod by means of a chain, M, passing over a pulley, L, screwed in the top of the board. This causes the piston and rod B to ascend in cylinder A at each pressure of foot-bar G with the foot. It instantly descends automatically to bottom of cylinder A, upon removal of the pressure-of foot-bar Gr, by means of two springs, K K, connected with top of the piston-rod B, and eye-screws screwed in board below on each side of cylinder A. On the ascending of piston B in cylinder A the liquid in tank below ascends suction-pipe I through foot-valve O and valve-guide D into cylinder A. On the descending of piston B the liquid closes footvalve 0 of suction-pipe and ascends curved pipe leading to foot-valve O of discharge-pipe, passes through same, also through valve-guide D of discharge-pipe into discharge-pipe H, (there may be one or more discharge-pipes,) on to the bottle, filling a bottle on each combined (up and down) stroke of piston and rod.

The machine is made of block-tin, rubber, wood, and iron, and will fill forty bottles per minute without wasting a drop ofliquid.

By providing for the automatic forcing in of the piston it is always kept in place, ready to perform a full stroke on the depression of the foot-board, so that no time is ever lost in ineffectual movements.

The guides D and D guarantee the prompt return of the valves to their seats, so that no pressure is lost at the moment of change of direction in the piston from its upward to its downward stroke.

The whole apparatus, being secured to single vertical board, is readily portable, and may be with great facility secured to a wall or pillar, and occupies but little space, while at the same time all its parts are easily accessible for adjustment or repair.

I claim I 1. A bottling-machine composed of the cylinder A, provided with the suction-nozzle and discharge-pipe, governed, respectively, by the valves 0 and O, the valve-guides D and 1), piston B, automatic means for forcing the piston inward, and suitable devices for giving said piston its outward stroke, substantially as described.

2. The combination of cylinder A and piston and rod B, said cylinder provided with inlet and outlet pipes controlled by valves, as explained, with foot-bar G, pulley L, chain M, and springs K, substantially as set forth.

3. In a bottling-machine, the cylinder secured to'the vertical supporting-board B, and provided with the piston and rod, and suctionnozzle and discharge-pipe controlled by suitable valves, in combination with the foot-board hinged to said vertical board, suitable means for connecting said foot-board with the pistonrod for raising the piston, and automatic means for forcing the piston inward, substantially as desciibed.
